hey everyone hows it going?

i have been talking to the owner of AM-Performance about some custom coil pack covers for the RB25 that he makes.. basically they are a metal cover with a custom cut pattern into it (as you will see from the pictures), powder coated with oil and heat resistant paint so nothing will be peeling off. also a variety of colours

im looking to see if he can do the trade mark "STAGEA" text up the middle of the cover, also for a different design if he can cut the double unicorn stagea logo in the middle.. here are some of his previous products to give you a bit of a idea

he has told me that the price will be $130 plus $15 postage (aus wide) for a minimum of 5 people, so im sure with more people we can get it cheaper

still currently getting more information and pictures to give you all a better idea of what the product is, but just after rough numbers as to who would be interested?

these look like a great product and as far as i can gather we will be able to make our own design's..

so post up and let me know if your interested :D cheers :D

just waiting on some more pictures and information from the AM-Performance.. also might broaden the GB and organise some designs for skylines aswell

i think its either going to be available in polished, or the powder coated + heat and oil resist paint in lots of colours (black, white, blue, red etc etc)

obviously with the cross over pipe taking up alot of the room towards the rear of the cover, the design will be more focused at the front and maybe just some grill's under the cross over pipe, like this one

so just a few ideas, one could just have the stagea double unicorn at the front, one could just have the stagea text, then there is all the performance brand's if that’s your thing (eg Nismo, HKS, etc)

its really good because we can make it what we want.. ill post up when i have some more pictures and info :)

What about the neo cover? that means we will have to lose it.

can we get somthing that has the the double unicorn at the back so you can see it when the neo cover is still on

intersted as long as i get to keep the neo cover.

keep us in the loop.

do we all have to get the same color?

(cos my favrote color is Chrome.)

I'd be keen, but i want mine painted in black, but id still want the cut out's of the unicorn and stagea

:) i agree but put Stgea first and the Unicorn.nrocinU last

(so those who keep there neo cover get to see Unicorn.nrocinU)

that i i will cut the center out of the neo cover. :)

alright everyone, follow the link if you want to buy one! lots more pics, lots more info - follow the link!

Ben - details up now buddy!

Matt - yeah probably gonna need to remove the neo cover.. im more going to get getting one for the uniqueness, airflow and to have a nice little double unicorn up the front :D you could possibly cut the neo cover up (for example cut out the dark grey bit out of the centre of the neo cover to expose the coil pack cover) but other than that, not much you can do mate

Johnny - yeah mate sure can, follow the link for more information :)

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
